Congratulations to Kindergarten teacher Caitlin Hasson on her recent nuptials; it was a true Browning celebration with two of her students in attendance! 💒

Boys lined the block to shake Dr. Botti’s hand on the first day of school. But why is a handshake so important?
Read Dr. Botti’s blog to learn how this simple start to the day sends the message that our community values dignity, respect, honesty, and trust. 🔗 in bio (browning.edu/head-of-school/sept-2019).

Browning brotherhood was at its finest at a retreat where the seniors forged strong bonds amidst high and low-ropes exercises! @mountainworkshop

STEM is in full throttle mode at Browning! First graders are tinkering with Lego robotics, third graders are prototyping novel solutions to everyday problems and pitching them in a ‘Shark Tank,’ while the fifth graders are conducting engineering observations of our neighboring Central Park skyline.

We were so delighted to have all our new families join us for a dinner reception at the School last night. So many happy, smiling faces – welcome all!

Week two is off to a great start for our littlest Panthers; the kindergarteners are getting to know each other through a 'Find a Friend' activity! 📷: Ms. Hasson

The fourth graders are beginning work on their vessels, creating base and coils from clay with Ms. Bancroft. We cannot wait to see how they turn out!🏺 #browningArts 📷: Mr. Norcross

Our inaugural Lower School picnic in Central Park was a great way to welcome new and returning families to Browning with games, laughs and plenty of sunshine! 🧺

We’re feeling invigorated having everyone together as a community at opening assembly for our 131st year! #1888
